Polyurethane Bakkie Linings FAQ

The polyurethane application typically takes 60 to 90 minutes; however, this may vary depending on whether you have an existing bakkie lining thickness, canopy, tonneau cover, or roll bar installed. We will first need to remove these components and then reinstall them to ensure the Tuff Guard product durability is not compromised.

The Tuff Guard product we use sets hard within a few seconds, it will remain slightly sticky for another 5 hours. This ensures optimal bakkie lining thickness for enhanced durability.

We offer two options for bakkie lining thickness, either 3mm or 5mm. As the polyurethane application is sprayed on, this may vary in certain areas, and these thicknesses are only used as a guideline to ensure optimal Tuff Guard product durability.

The Tuff Guard product we use features impressive durability due to its polyurethane application, making it hard wearing and capable of enduring a significant amount of wear and tear. However, it is essential to note that it is not indestructible. The bakkie lining thickness is designed to protect your load bin from reasonable wear and tear. We've observed linings applied over 13 years ago that remain in good condition. With proper maintenance and care, there’s no reason the lining shouldn’t last the lifetime of the vehicle.

Yes, the product we use consists of two key components: a resin and a catalyst. When mixed, this material reaches the load bin at 90 degrees, ensuring that it bonds effectively within 30 seconds. In contrast, the cheaper paint-on alternatives have a bakkie lining thickness that is significantly compromised due to less catalyst and more plastic. This results in a thin, brittle lining that does not adhere properly to the load bin at room temperature, taking 4-5 hours to bond adequately. Our Tuff Guard product, on the other hand, enhances polyurethane application for greater durability and long-lasting performance.

We frequently contact our competitors to ensure that our pricing, along with the bakkie lining thickness, remains the best available in the market.
